OpenMx is open source; thus the source code is available for everyone to view, modify, and use. We currently have a team of dedicated programmers and a design team determining the direction of OpenMx. The project itself is organized somewhat like a scientific journal: Code can be submitted for review by the “editorial board” who read, edit, and test the code. Code that is accepted for publication as part of the OpenMx package becomes available for the entire scientific community. We do not place any limits on how readers and users of the code may use the software and code, but we do expect that code that is part of OpenMx is cited by people who use it. Authors who contribute code are cited by the project and by others who use their code.
